Pit Stories: The Blue Spandex Superhero Invasion

We've been seeking bands and fans everywhere to get their memorable mosh pit stories, and this week's story about a sudden invasion of blue spandex superheroes comes courtesy of Florida's Catalepsy.

This “pit story” took place about a year ago when we were in Myrtle Beach, SC. We were playing this tiny dive bar right on the beach in some random basement. We were just finishing up line check and were about to start our set when we we came to the sudden realization that there was literally no one inside the venue.

Bummed out but still needing our pay, we decided to fight the good fight and play anyways. After about 20 seconds into our opening song, a couple of kids started to file in wearing these blue, Spiderman like body suits. By the end of the second song, the venue was completely packed full of matching blue spandex superheroes. What that all was about, well, the world may never know. Quite the experience...

Catalepsy recently release the new album "Bleed" through Eulogy Recordings. You can check out a music video for the album's title track here or listen to the song "Monolith" by heading over to this location. For additional details on Catalepsy, navigate to the band's Facebook profile.

Come back next Tuesday to see our latest Pit Story submitted by bands and fans from around the world.

This story is totally false. I was the guy in a BLACK suit and I let my friend borrow a BLUE suit. Count that, there was only TWO suits. We only wore it for our friends in the opening band "End of Story" (RIP). We took them off right after their set. Sounds like you were on acid if you think it happened any other way.
